Welcome to home dog training Maidstone and my name is Shauna your local Bark Busters dog behaviour therapist and trainer. I now visit homes in the Mansfield and Chesterfield area, where I show you how to effectively communicate with your dog in a way he / she will understand and to find out why the behaviour is happening. Neither can we ‘bad mouth’ other dog trainers, nor are we allowed to use any method that will harm or hurt any dog. People have corrected me, I have thanked them and gone back and fixed what I wrote, with credit to the person who educated me.

The article explained how they used the very items Eileen has pictured – the air horn, ‘pillow’ and penny can.

All of the Bark Busters trainers have to adhere to a strict code of ethics, which amongst other things, states that our people cannot recommend the euthanasia or surgical debarking of any dog. I’m pulling my hair out trying to find the right positive reinforcement behaviorist/trainer, and one that’s not gonna lie to me. I have been in this business since 2000, i am considered a professional dog trainer and dog behavior consultant. Once I learned about the great work that Bark Busters was doing with dogs around the world, I was inspired to train to become a Bark Busters behaviour therapist myself. Whether your problem is simply mastering lead work, or as challenging as dog/human aggression, or separation anxiety, our communication-based training methods will help you to achieve your goals.

If you want to know why there is no ‘alpha’ among dogs, see David Mech’s YouTube video in which he explains that the captive wolf studies on which the theory was based were flawed. The perhaps most upsetting thing was their little girl who realized the green-thing tossed near the dog would stop the barking and would often ask, “Where’s the green thing? She was growling and barking at everyone who came in the house and I had never delt with a dog like that before.

After the Bark Busters training, he was being walked happily to the park twice a day, and the owners were delighted! Since very few people really want to hurt or startle their dogs, people usually start out lightly when they use an aversive method.

She addressed each issue and used subtle changes in tone and body language to gain the amazing results we have achieved. The first night, and each night since, both dogs have slept in their bed without a peep from them and while we are still doing our homework with the barking at the door and at stimuluses, and with being left, they are already 75% improved, or should I say we are! It has been bred into them to bark at everything because their original purpose was hanging out with sheep in the middle of nowhere in Iceland… in that case, if you see something moving near the sheep, it’s great to bark at everything! I publish things with which I disagree, although as I mention in my policy, if I publish a post advocating using aversive methods, I make a counter response.
